I bless the rains down in Africa

Hi friends and family! Sorry for the lack of posts but the internet connection here is so slow. I hope to post something big from Nairobi tomorrow night, but don't get your hopes up.

Until then, a brief update (sorry no photos, takes too long):

• rainy season -I never would have thought I would be cold in Africa! But, the rain waters the Shamba (garden) and so many people depend on what they can grow to eat. Today was actually the sunniest day we have had. It was beautiful -Jeff saw 2 different kinds of monkeys on a walk around the perimeter of the campus.


• Yesterday we toured the Kijabe hospital - it has been here for more than 100 years and was the start of the mission station. I took a photo of the delivery room -while I tried not to faint at the thought of having a baby there.


• Today I attended a tea party with 35 sophomore girls while Jeff went to Sunday School at a slum. You will have to hear about it from him.


• tomorrow we join Courtney Folwick from church at the IDP camp (internally displaced persons) camp that she works at in the Great Rift Valley. The we have to brave the crazy roads back to Nairobi, with John, our Kenyan driver (it just has to be better than Jeff's ride here in the rain and fog on a Friday night).


• Tuesday morning we fly to the Masai Mara conservancy for a 2 day safari! Blog followers can come and see the pictures when we get home!

(Hopefully) More Soon!
